Please help??!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation: Answer is 1.5

There are 2 similar triangles in the figure Triangle CBD and Triangle CAE. We are going to use a similarity proportion between there congruent sides.

$\frac{ cb}{cd} = \frac{ca}{ce}$

Now let plug in

$\frac{4}{19} = \frac{x}{26}$

Cross multiply and x=

$5 \times \frac{9}{19}$

or 104/9. Now we are going to find Ba. Since CB+BA=CA via the segment addition rule. 4+x=104/19. x=104/19-76/19 which equals 28/19. 28/19 is about 1.5.
